A senior Student Union society president, speaking on condition of anonymity, slammed the event and the Track record of Bahar Mustafa.

Speaking anonymously, they said: “For Bahar to have the nerve to write this is patronising beyond belief.

“She (if that is her preferred gender pronoun) has made it very difficult for white cis males on campus who feel like they can’t say anything for fear of retribution. the irony that she (or they) think that they are diversifying the student community in the name of feminism and multiculturalism is laughable.”

It is important to note that there is a huge difference between holding exclusionary “BME-only” events and the long-standing culture of open to all events which cater specifically towards BME and female students, which have been vital to ensuring diversity, anti-racism and tolerance on campuses for decades.
